### Summary
The narrative pivots from the raw intimacy and paranoia of the previous encounter to a stark betrayal of trust centered on the detective, Taehyeong. His character is unmasked as manipulative and self-serving, driven by a greedy ambition to become the top detective and live up to his father's legacy. This revelation confirms readers' suspicions, framing him not as an ally but as another obsessive figure ruthlessly exploiting both Jooin's telepathy and Eugène's psychometry for personal glory. The detective's actions are perceived as a coercive abuse of power, forcing Jooin into a position where he feels he has no choice but to help, prompting strong reactions for Jooin to cut ties. This conflict is further complicated by the introduction of an international element, with the hiring of a foreign killer, which adds a new layer of danger and underscores the detective's increasingly unethical methods.
